I saw Peter Swan play...... the worst player to wear argyle colours.
I too saw Peter Swan, but I can’t recall him playing as bad as that in one half.

Absolutely bang on. 1. Gillesphey passed straight to their Right Winger. 2. Gillesphey lofts an insane back pass to Cooper. Cooper, rather than launching out of the stadium, tries to 'play out', gives it away, penalty, sending off. 3. Randell, under pressure, plays it across the pitch in his own half, gives it away.We seen the type of defending in league one for two years.
Whether it was a Opoku, Watts, Aimson to Wilson, Scarr & Gillesphy.
Whether it was 5-0 at Fleetwood or 5-1 tonight. The effort has always been there.
The players can’t figure out when to play out from the back and when not too. You simply need to sense the danger. And lm including Cooper in this too. He simply doesn’t recognise when to knock it long if danger is about.
I don’t think we played poorly. We just lost control of this match via poor decision making. That is where we are as club. Two years ago we blamed it young, experienced players. Today we are blaming experienced league one defenders. Unfortunately, we will keep giving teams chances by our poor decision making.
As an attacking unit l think the set up is looking better. Yet the lack of consistency with a cutting edge is again because of overall quality.
6 points out of 12 is OK. We played well in two. Lost badly in two. I think in both away games we showed glimpses of good things but l when your coming up against these bigger budgeted teams and you gift wrap chances you will be punished.
Stockley was their spearhead tonight. That is what Argyle lack as the single forward. Someone for the team to play off. Unfortunately, we can’t afford that calibre of player at this minute.
I feel there Is nothing to be too down hearted about. Just have to be realistic that if we continue to play this way more nights like tonight will happen because the players are being asked to go things that their skill set can’t do consistently.
Mate he was shocking. I didn't see tonight but I defer to people that went or watched on TV.I too saw Peter Swan, but I can’t recall him playing as bad as that in one half.

Charlton were excellent, with Stockley, the loanee from Palace, Dobson and Morgan really impressing. But the first 3 goals and the red card were because we committed terrible, basic errors playing out.
If we are to have any semblance of hope of another play-off challenge, we have to become streetwise and clinical away from home. Currently we are neither, and haven't been since before the end of last season.
Galloway has to come in for Gillesphey on Saturday after both of their performances tonight, and presumably Longwijk will replace the suspended Wilson.
None of the midfield emerged with any credit tonight, and I include Whittaker in that. Yes he scored a quite brilliant goal, but he gave the ball away trying to do too much most of the rest of the time. Presumably Mayor had a niggle which is why he didn't get on the pitch tonight, but I would be putting him and Azaz back together on Saturday, if possible, with Houghton and Randell behind them. I'd stick with Hardie up top, but Ennis was quite bright in a lost cause.

I unfortunately witnessed the Swan era. I guess it's fresh in the mind but Gillesphie's performance, particularly the first half is definitely going to give me nightmares tonightMate he was shocking. I didn't see tonight but I defer to people that went or watched on TV.
Thing is jic I didn't see first hand but we usually agree on most things so I'll defer to your view on it.He was poor over a season and made a mistake every game - but not as many as Gillesphey did in 45 mins.
I thought Gillesphey played decent on Sat, so I’m gutted for the lad but he really was poor particularly in the first half tonight.
Far from the worst player. It was his attitude that was terrible.I saw Peter Swan play...... the worst player to wear argyle colours.

As for Swan it was what he cost that made it infinitely worse...I thought we were signing a good player.
